Railway fan captures fascinating train images

Wang Wei, 25, Chinese photographer, has taken more than 300,000 photos while travelling more than 200,000 kilometers by train.

Wang has been capturing trains in his photos for more than ten years. He spends nearly five months travelling across China every year, photographing trains.

Wang presents us with images of trains crossing plateaus, snowfields, grasslands, forests, and the Gobi desert. He also shows us diesel trains and steam locomotives which we rarely see in our daily life.

What Wang finds particularly rewarding is that more and more people are starting to know more about railway culture. He hopes that an increasing number of people will get to know the history of China's railways through his photos.
